track racing is for pansies compared to rally driving :eek:

You should see me on way to work - now thats car control... :P

....and inversely proportional to the size of some of the spectators' brains!

Don't think I would like to get as close as some of that lot!

does that not make the racing harnesses really uncomfortable ?

Yes! I remember doing my crotch strap up in a bit of a hurry - as my co-driver said "that'll teach you not to put all your eggs in one basket!" :rofl:

That's why us co drivers have nice big footrests - so you don't get restrained by your balls.

It's why I speak with a high pitched voice! :D

PMSL:rofl:

Excellent footage and amazing how the drivers set the car for a corner, wait for the corner to arrive, and then get on the power! Wish I could drive like that *sigh*!!! :thumbup:

its amazing, they could be sideways at 100mph 20m+ before a corner then just shoot round. awesome.

Ah, but when it goes wrong it can be painful!

I've had several offs (if you don't you ain't trying ;) ) one of which actually removed 2 wheels from the car :eek: Rather nasty yump on Epynt into a corner, only the car didn't make the corner, flipped and did 2 barrel rolls :( Cracked my helmet on the cage too :mad:

And avoid hiting dry stone walls at 80+ ;) If in doubt hit something manmade, it's more forgiving than things like trees! :D

Cracked my helmet

Explains a few things :rofl:

shamone!!!

Better than cracking one off in your helmet (or someone elese for that matter) :D

Epynt - home of the multiple caution boards:eek:

Not seen the vid yet but wondering if it was when Toyota had their naughty car - who is driving?

Probably still home to several parts of my rally car :grumpy:

& I never got my helmet back from the MSA :mad:

In the Juha Kankenann and Nicky Grist days they had a very fast car - they forgot to put a restrictor in or it was an oversize restrictor and they got banned.

Nicky was tellingus about it when he was at our motor club in February - he said it was 'f***ing fast':rofl:

ahhh, well it makes no mention fo the driver or co-driver in the film and they are argueing over the driver in the comments so no idea here who it, chuffing good whoever it was though :D

Just watched it - it's not one of the naughty cars as it's too new.

I thought at first it might have been Eugene Donolley but not sure that it looked like Ireland and I can't decide if it's on shagged tarmac or gravel.

Those jumps at hte end would have hurt at that speed.

It's all the same over there :rofl:

Ill never forget heading out of Skibbereen towards Ballydehob and the already shoddy road disappeared down about 6 inches and continued as a dirt track for about 4 miles. The SRI I was driving took off!

Crazy.

I think that at a guess that was taken in Finland. Fast flowing gravel stages, in and out of forest, with the occassional big yump, though I could be wrong.

I don't think its Donnelly. I was gonna say Delecour and funny enough another clip came up at the end which was a Vid of him in the 206. Theres probably a lot of drivers who do it but it was something about the sleeves roller up.

Serious piece of driving though
